Hello,
I would like you to evaulate my profile and give me realistic evaluation on the schools I am applying. I am only going to apply to probably 3 or 4. So I want to make sure I am applying to the right range of schools.
Undergraduate.
UC - Mechanical Engineer 2.1 GPA failed 8 classes. Grades pretty much flat, through all 5 years.
Activities: College Marching Band (2year), student leader for dorm(1), blood drive coordinator (1), Part team lead for engineering competition (2), Mentor for Junior High student.
Spent alot of time during college working to support school cost and for a time some family cost. At some points worked multiple jobs, at one point has a 9am-5pm job/class schedule and then 9pm-5am work schedule as security.
Post College:
First-Tier Aerospace firm engineer, with 1 promotion from level 1-2. Some responsibility but almost no leadership experience. 3 years in August.
Started MS in Engineering, took 2 classes through extention and one directly from the school, 3.5 GPA. Took a couple of foreign languages classes through extension.
Volunteer: Started volunteering at Make-a-wish (3months), 3 gallon blood/platelet donor. College recruiter at High schools (3 years)
GMAT: 760 (Q55 V44) AWA 4.0
Resume Stuff (yada yada)
Actuarial Exam I (passed)
American Mensa
Company Management association/asian association/american socienty of Mechanical Engineers
I am looking for a position of management consulting and would like to work for McKinsey. I think it would be easy to link management with supply chain and design experience.
Schools I would like to apply are
Columbia (ED)
UCLA -anderson.
Harvard
Kellogg
Chicago
Wharton
Ross
Hass
I think beyond those programs, I don't see a huge advantage to getting my MBA. How unrealistic am I? And what programs would you suggest that I apply that I would have a better chance.
